Job Title: Business Analyst – EY Reporting Hub & User Access Management Product Line

Function: Finance

Sub-Function: Reporting And Data Analytics – FP&A

Level: Supervising Associate / Senior Associate

The opportunity

The Business Analyst (BA) is the connection point between the Product Line Lead and the technical and Quality Assurance (QA) teams. The BA translates functional requirements into detailed technical specifications, supports the development cycle and drives functional validation until enhancements and resolved defects are ready to be moved into Production. Additionally, the BA provides support for consumers, reviews regular data updates, conducts functional and data-related validations and sends out communications when necessary. EY Reporting Hub is the one stop-shop providing all R&DA reports to each consumer. The User Access Management (UAM) tool was created to manage access to R&DA data and Reporting Solutions for all roles that are currently not maintained in another globally available system. As a result, both tools support a global user base targeting every EY employee. While the reports are maintained by the different Product Lines teams targeting specific user groups, the EY Reporting Hub and UAM are critical enablement tools which require stability and high availability. Additionally, the team oversees initiatives to improve the usability and stability of these tools working closely with the different Product Line teams to provide a good and consistent offering to all R&DA users.
